Supplying Power

The MTS300 MPEG Test System platform is designed to operate from a single-phase power source having one of its current carrying conductors at or near earth ground (the neutral conductor). Power sources that have both current carrying conductors live with respect to ground, such as phase-to-phase or multiphase systems, are not recommended. A protective ground connection, by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord, is essential for safe operation. The electrical operating requirements are listed in Table 1--7.

Table 1- 7: Electrical operating requirements

Requirement Specification

Source Voltage 100 VAC to 240 VAC

47 Hz to 63 Hz

Fuse Rating 10 A Fast / 250 V

Maximum Power Consumption 170 Watts typical

Inrush Surge Current 36 Amps maximum

Power Factor Correction Yes

MTS300 MPEG Test System Hardware and Software Installation Technical Reference

1- 9

Hardware Installation

After you have installed the MTS300 system and completed making the signal, network, and peripheral connections, plug the power cord into the mains. See Figure 1--1 for location of power connector.

CAUTION. Do not supply power to the instrument until all connections have been made.

WARNING. The test system is designed for connection to an earth-grounded AC outlet. To avoid risk of electrical shock or equipment damage, do not disable the grounding plug.

Mains Voltage Range. You can power the test system computer and monitor from mains that supply between 100 VAC and 240 VAC without setting a voltage selection switch.

Mains Frequency. The test system computer and monitor operate on either 50 Hz or 60 Hz line frequencies.

CAUTION. To prevent damage, protect the system computer from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating noninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes. In addition, it allows the system to operate temporarily during a power failure.

Power Cord Options. Unless a specific power cord option is ordered, the system computer and monitor come standard with a power cord for North American 60 Hz, 120 VAC supplies. Table 1--2 on page 1--3 lists the power cord options.

Connecting MTS300 System I/O Ports

Figure 1--4 through Figure 1--11 show the available input and output (I/O) connector configurations on the MTS300 rear panel. For I/O port specifications, refer to the Specifications section beginning on page 3-1. Use the I/O ports that best suit your operating environment and signal sources. A description of each connector type follows.

Hardware Installation

Input

Trigger Input

Clock Input

Output to Other

Equipment

You must provide input to the MTS300 system to monitor an MPEG-2, DVB, or ATSC bit stream. The MTS300 system I/O ports can be ASI serial, SPI (LVDS), DHEI (GI-Digicypher), or SSI (SMPTE310M). To change the configuration, refer to Configuration Client Reference in the MTS300 MPEG Test System Real-Time Analysis User Manual.

The trigger input accepts a TTL level (0 to +5 V) signal you can use to control capture of the MTS300 system input stream to the system disks. You can configure the system to start/stop data capture on either the rising edge (low to high transition) or the falling edge (high to low transition) of the trigger signal. Refer to the MTS300 MPEG Test System Real-Time Analysis User Manual for further information on capturing transport stream inputs.

Each output port has a corresponding clock input which can be used to clock the transport stream output when using Stream Player. The clock rate is at the byte rate of the transport stream for the ASI/M2S and SPI (LVDS) formats. The clock rate is at the bit rate of the transport stream for the SMPTE310M (SSI) and DHEI (GI Digicypher) formats.

Applications generating an output will do so on the I/O port to which the application has been assigned. Applications requiring an input have an output activation option that will loop-through the input signal to the output connector on the assigned I/O port.

When an output port is used to generate signals using the Stream Player or OpenMux applications, the corresponding input port cannot be used.

Repackaging for Shipment

Your instrument was originally shipped by Tektronix in a carton with packaging components designed to protect the instrument from damage during shipment. If you need to ship the instrument to another location, it is strongly recommended that you use the original shipping carton and packaging components to provide adequate protection during shipment.

CAUTION. To prevent the loss of your instrument’s warranties, Tektronix strongly recommends that you use your original shipping carton (one that is in good condition) when you ship the instrument to another location or when you return the instrument to a Tektronix service center for repair.

Tektronix cannot honor the instrument’s warranties if the instrument arrives at the service center damaged and it was not shipped in its original carton or in a replacement carton (and its supporting packaging material) purchased from Tektronix. If you lose your original packaging material, contact your Tektronix representative to obtain replacement packaging.

Packaging Inspection

When preparing to ship your instrument to another location, it is important to inspect your existing packaging materials for condition, missing components and vintage.

H If the condition of your existing packaging materials is poor, or if you are

missing some of the components, it is strongly recommended that you order a new packaging kit. The new packaging kit will accommodate both the portable and the rackmount versions of the instrument cabinet.

If your existing packaging materials are in good condition, compare them against Figures 1--12 and 1--13 to determine which packaging procedure to use. Use the procedure associated with your existing packaging materials.

H The configuration (vintage) of the packaging materials is important to note.

Replacement components for the old-design packaging materials are no longer available. Also, the components of the new and old designs are not interchangeable. If your packaging materials are of the old design, and require any replacement components, you must order a new packaging kit.

If your instrument was originally shipped in the older design packaging and you have converted the cabinet from portable to rackmount configuration, use the new design packaging which contained the rackmount conversion kit, or order a new design shipping kit.

First Time Operation

Logging On

Starting MTS300 System

Applications

The MTS300 system uses the Windows NT auto-logon feature by default. The default user name and password are Administrator and MPEG2, respectively. You do not need to enter a user name or password to log on to the MTS300 the first time.

Changing the Passwords. After you log on to the MTS300 system the first time (or at any subsequent time), you can change the password for that user name, or create new profiles for different users of the test system. Refer to the Windows NT online help for instructions.

Refer to Setting, Resetting, and Disabling Auto Logon on page 4--11 if you want to disable automatic logon to Windows NT when you power-on the instrument.

CAUTION. To prevent the loss of data, if you change the default user names and passwords, secure the new names in a safe place. If you forget your user-defined user names and passwords and cannot logon to the MTS300 system, you will have to reinstall the operating system software which will result in the loss of all data on the hard drives of the MTS300 system.

After you have logged on, the Tektronix MPEG Test System program group window appears as shown below. Double-click the appropriate application icon to launch the desired application.

NOTE. The example below shows an MTS300 system program group with most of the available options installed. Depending on which options you ordered, your program group may not contain all application icons.

Hard Power Down. You can use the hard power-down capability to immediately power-down the MTS300 system in an emergency situation such as fire.

CAUTION. To prevent data loss and the corruption or deletion of application and system files, perform this procedure only if all other attempts to shut down the MTS300 system have failed.

Using this hard power down procedure will likely cause file problems. When you use this method to power down the MTS300 system, the next time the instrument is powered on, the operating system will use the Scan Disk utility to perform a check for missing or corrupt files. You may be prompted to reinstall the operating system or application software.

To hard power-down the MTS300 system, perform the following steps:

1. Press and hold the On/Stby button for about 3 or 4 seconds.

2. After the MTS300 system goes into standby mode, you can restart the

MTS300 MPEG Test System Hardware and Software Installation Technical Reference

Software Repair and Recovery

The MTS300 system is shipped with a 3 1/2 in floppy disk and two CD-ROMs that you will use to restore the system software and configuration when the MTS300 system has operating system or application software problems.

Use the MTS300 MPEG Test System Operating System Recovery CD to restore the Windows NT operating system, device drivers, and services. This CD is bootable from the CD-ROM drive of the MTS300 system.

Use the MTS300 MPEG Test System Application Software Recovery CD to reinstall the MTS300 application software.

Software Repair Strategy

Depending on the severity of the problem, you may need to restore only a portion of the MTS300 system software. Repair suspected software problems in the following order:

1. Restore the individual device driver or configuration setting that appears corrupt.

Troubleshooting

2. Restore the MTS300 system application software.

3. Restore the MTS300 operating system. Since restoring the operating system

destroys all data on the IDE hard drive, you will have to restore the complete MTS300 system application software, restripe the SCSI hard drives, and reenter the MTS300 General License password.

The software recovery procedures in this section are divided into three sections: System Settings, Device Drivers, and Operating System and MTS300 Application Software.

Use the following troubleshooting techniques to identify drivers or services that need to be restored:

1. Restore the indicated service or driver when you observe an error message or if an attempted action fails to start.

2. When a device driver or service fails to start, Windows NT will log an event about the problem in the Event Viewer. If you suspect a software problem, but have not seen an error message, open the Event Viewer by selecting Start | Administrative Tools | Event Viewer from the Windows NT Start menu.

Software Repair and Recovery

For example, if the audio device driver fails, an event in the log says: “The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: auddrive.”

Reinstalling the device driver or service indicated in the Event Viewer will repair most driver or service problems of this kind.

3. If new components of Windows NT are installed, such as SNMP service, some DLL file versions may not match. If you observe an error message about missing or corrupt DLL files, start by restoring the Windows NT service pack (see Restoring Microsoft Windows NT Service Pack 6a beginning on page 4--16).
